D. A. R. RITUAL 



Regent. — Daughters, we meet to honor the memory of our 
ancestors, to renew oiu' pledge of loyah)' to our countr)- 
and our flag, and to emphasize the privilege and duty of 
patriotism. 

Chaplain. — O! Give thanks unto the Lord; call upon His 
name ; make known His deeds among the jieople. 

Response. — In Thy name shall they rejoice all the days, 
and in Thy righteousness shall they be exalted. 

Chaplain. — Seek the Lord and His strength, seek His face 
evermore. 

Response. — Remember His marvelous works that He hath 
done. 

Chaplain. — The Heaven, even the Heavens, are the Lord's. 

Response. — But the earth hath He given to the children 
of men. 

Chaplain. — Praise the Lord, O ! Jerusalem ; praise the Lord, 
O ! Zion. 

Response. — For He hath strengthened the bars of thy 
gates. He hath blessed thy children within thee. 

Chai'l.mx. — He shall judge among the nations, and shall re- 
buke many people, and they shall beat their swords into 
plowshares and their spears into i)runing hooks. 



D. A. R. RITUAL 5 

Response. — He maketh wars to cease unto the ends of the 
earth. He breaketh the bow and cutteth the spear in 
sunder. Nation shall not lift up sword against nation, 
neither shall they learn war any more. 

Chaplain. — The Lord will give strength unto His people. 
The Lord will bless His people with peace. 

Response. — Whereas thou hast been forsaken and hated, 
I will make thee an eternal excellency, — a joy of many 
generations. 

Chaplain. — Almighty God, Maker of Heaven and earth, we 
humbly bow before Thee with thanksgiving for the gift of 
Thy Son, who brought life and immortality to light in the 
Gospel, and who gave us the principles of freedom, liberty, 
and righteousness. We give thanks for our country, 
wherein these principles may be exemplified, and for the 
valor, devotion, and sacriifice, even unto death, of our ances- 
tors, whose memories we revere. 

We thank Thee for Thy sustaining grace and strength 
during testing times of poverty, sorrow, and affliction. We 
thank Thee this was not endured in vain, but throusfh 
them Thou didst preserve our land and endue with the 
same spirit of fidelity and heroism the successive' genera- 
tions. 

We thank Thee for Thy sovereign care, protection, and 
leadership in the days shadowed with trouble, and that 
Thou didst give us strength, courage, and guidance, and 
didst bring in a period of benign peace. We pray Thee 
to make us steadfast in the cause of human rights and 
liberty, of law and order, of social justice and national rec- 
titude. And as the spirit of war has been quenched, so that 



5 D. A. A\ RITUAL 

no longer brother strives against brother, may Thy rich 
blessing rest upon us as a nation, and make us Thy people, 
tender and patient in charity, resolute and firm for the 
right ! 

Merciful God, our Father, Thou who turnest the hearts of 
the children to the Fathers, we thank Thee for the inspira- 

• tion which called this Patriotic Society into existence, and 
we pray Thee to teach us both as a nation, and as an 
organization, that fraternity whose love shall abide, that 
charity ever fruitful of good works, that loyalty both true 
to our country's flag and supremely devoted to the Cross, 
the symbol of our faith. 

Do Thou so protect our nation that unto the latest genera- 
tion its spirit and policy shall be to educate and Christianize 
its citizens, to bless all humanity, and to further Thy Holy 
Kingdom. 
" And finally, when we shall have served Thee in our gen- 

• eration, may we be gathered unto our Fathers, having the 
testimony of a good conscience in favor with Thee, our 
God, and in perfect charity with all the world. All which 
we ask through Jesus Christ our Lord." 

Response. — Amen and Amen. 

SiNcixc; (Page lo). — ''Sound Forth again the Nation's 
Voice." 

Regent. — Our country stands before the world to-day a 
memorial of God-given principles, centuries ago planted in 
the hearts of men across the waters. For the perpetua- 
tion and e.xercise of these principles, those men, defying 
wind and wa\e, traversed an unknown sea, and landed upon 
the inhospitable shores of this continent. Then followed, 
at great cost of life, long, wearisome )'ears spent in battling 



D. A. R. RITUAL y 

with an untried climate, subduing forests, wild beasts, and 
the uncivilized red man. Only God was witness of the 
toil and hardships, the pain and sorrow endured; but, 
despite the manifold obstacles, indomitable industry, per- 
severance, and faith in Almight)^ God enabled them to 
achieve mastery; and homes were made, villages, towns, 
and cities arose. 

Response. — For the Lord will not cast off His People, 
neither will He forsake His inheritance. 

Regent. — And still further must our heroic forefather colo- 
nists be tested. Red-handed war must arbitrate relative to 
national allegiance. Nine long years must dangers be 
encountered, privations endured, hardships borne, to settle 
forever the dominance of our land b)' the Anglo-Saxon. 

Response. — Blessed is that nation whose God is the Lord, 
and the people whom He hath chosen for an inheritance. 

Regent.— Scarce had the demon of war departed and white- 
winged peace brooded over the colonies, when ominous 
darkness arose in the horizon. 'T was the Mother Country's 
hand laid heavily upon the young colonists in unjust de- 
mands. The ties of affection were strong, and love and 
patience had their perfect work, until, finding their remon- 
strances unheeded, petitions ignored, and prayers un- 
answ-ered, — 

Response. — They cry unto the Lord in their trouble, and 
He bringeth them out of their distresses. 

Regent. — They arose in the dignity and might of an injured 
. people, a just cause, and an Almighty God, and gave to 
the world a 

DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE. 



8 D. A. R. RITUAL 

Singing (Page 14). — ''Hail, Columbia." 

Regent. — Memory enshrines those brave souls who left happy, 
prosperous homes, and made their breasts a barricade be- 
tween our country and its foes, — - the long years of poverty, 
privation, and hardship, the toil of long, weary marches ; 
intense suffering in camp and on bloody field ; their fearful 
sacrifice, not even counting life dear unto themselves, all 
for God, home, and country. Such was the price of our 
liberty. 

Singing (Page 17). — "Battle Hymn of the Republic." 

Regent. — Hence, as Daughters of the American Revolution, 
endeavoring to freshly embalm the memory of this patriotic 
self-sacrifice, we hope to serve the country for which they 
fought and died, by encouraging a more zealous and abid- 
ing patriotism in the hearts and life of every American 
citizen. For we know this example has been perpetuated 
by the sacrifice of all that men hold dear, both in defense 
of rights against foreign invaders and when brother rose 
against brother in fratricidal strife, to uphold the integrity 
and unity and maintain the power and glory of our Ameri- 
can Republic. 

Re.sponse. — Happy is that people whose God is the Lord. 

Regent. — Realizing that the safety of our country lies in the 
intelligence, moral character, and patriotism of her citizens, 
and that the home is where these elements can best be en- 
gendered and fostered, as mothers, wives, sisters, our solemn 
duty is to keep the altar fires of domestic affection and 
brotherly love blazing on our hearthstones, thus continuing 
a nation of happy homes, — the highest type of Heaven. 

Singing (Page 22). — <' Home, Sweet Home." 



D. A. K. RITUAL 9 

Response. — And for this we give our hands, our heads, 
our hearts, to our God, our country, and our flag. One 
God, one country, and one flag. (Salute flag.) 

Singing (Page 20). — ''The Star-Spangled Banner." 

Chaplain. — Bring ye all the tithes into the storehouse, that 
there may be meat in mine house, and prove me now here- 
with, saith the Lord of Hosts, if I will not open you the 
windows of Heaven and pour you out a blessing that there 
shall not be room enough to receive it. 

Response. — And all nations shall call ye blessed, for ye 
shall be a delightsome land, saith the Lord of Hosts. 

prater 

Chaplain. — " God of our Fathers, known of old. 
Lord of our far-flung battle line, 

Beneath whose awful hand we hold 
Dominion over palm and pine, 

Lord God of Hosts, be with us yet," 

Response. — " Lest we forget. Lest we forget." 
Amen and Amen. 

Singing (Page 19). — "America."
